Description:
------------
Argument stack reallocations may cause heap corruption or segmentation faults.

Functions that accept arguments through zend_get_parameters (zval ** - pointer to zend_ptr_stack element) and running user callbacks that may need more stack space are affected.

So unserialize (__wakeup), sort functions in 4.4 version, and so on.

Also using complicated user error handler is quite risky.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
class test {
        function extend_zend_ptr_stack($count,$a,$b,$c,$d,$e) {
                if ($count>0) $this->extend_zend_ptr_stack($count - 1,$a,$b,$c,$d,$e);
        }

        function __wakeup() {
                $this->extend_zend_ptr_stack(10,'a','b','c','d','e');
        }
}

$str='a:2:{i:0;O:4:"test":0:{}junk';
var_dump(unserialize($str));


Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)


Actual result:
--------------
